One of the most annoying things about crowdfunding campaigns is that I don’t hear about them until it’s too late to make a difference. Nimuno Loops is one such project. In fact, by the time I heard about it, it was on the verge of breaking USD 1,000,000. With 21 days left (at the time of writing), it’s […]

Beyond The Brick is at it again, and this time they’re crowdfunding for coverage of the upcoming BRICKLIVE event in Birmingham. This is going to be their first time covering an event outside of the States on DVD, which makes it something special. If you’re unfamiliar with BRICKLIVE, it was previously called The LEGO Show and then BRICK, where […]

Beyond The Brick is at it again, with a new crowdfunding campaign for a DVD on this year’s BrickCon. All the information you could want about the campaign is on the Kickstarter page, but for fans of third-party LEGO-related items there are some rather cool rewards: one of which is a 3D-printed LEGO figure of your […]

The crowdfunding madness continues over on Kickstarter, with another LEGO-related campaign – this time by a mysterious group called Crazy Bricks.

There are only ten days left before Project Swapfig’s second crowdfunding attempt comes to an end, and to make things more interesting I’m running a caption competition once a day for those last ten days. You should be able to see the post made in the Facebook group explaining all, or a link to the post […]

2013 seems to be the year of LEGO-related crowdfunding projects, with a number of raging successes and disappointing failures along the way. Even I’ve been involved in the mix. Just this week there’s been another contender for that crowdfunding gwop, and it’s going really strong. Mechabrick is a table-top board game based around Japanese-style mechs, […]
